Vincent lifted a brow when he heard what Lucian said, his expression a mix of amusement and mild surprise. He moved his gaze briefly to Serena, only to see that she was also caught off guard by Lucian's words, although she was trying to mask her reaction with a subtle, composed demeanor. Her eyes flickered with a hint of confusion, but she quickly schooled her features into neutrality.
With that, Vincent donned a smile, his lips curving into a knowing grin. "You never cease to amaze me, Lucian. But then, you wouldn't be you if you didn't amaze me," he said, his tone light but carrying a hint of challenge. He took a deliberate step back, his polished shoes clicking softly against the marble floor, then fixed his gaze on Serena. "See you around, darling," he flashed her a wink, his eyes glinting with mischief, before turning on his heel and walking away from them. His steps were confident and unhurried, his tailored suit fitting him perfectly as he disappeared into the crowd.
